The early weigh-ins for Bellator 227: “Henderson vs. Jury,” which takes place tomorrow night (Fri., Sept. 27, 2019), officially went down today (Thurs., Sept. 26, 2019) in Dublin, Ireland. And, unfortunately, the scale-tipping festivities did not go off without a hitch, with one-half of the main event, Myles Jury, missing his 155-pound mark by .2 pounds (there is a one-pound allowance in non-title bouts), according to MMAFightng.com. His headlining fight against Ben Henderson will proceed as scheduled; however, Jury will more than likely have to forfeit a percentage of his purse as punishment.
The commission declare that Gallagher/Salazar has been changed to a featherweight bout following Salazar hitting the scales at 145.6. Also, the commission have not requested Jury to cut the extra .2 for his meeting with Henderson.
